Beer Tasting: Bethlehem Brew Works Maibock

This is a Maibock style lager from Bethlehem Brew Works in Bethlehem, PA. The beer was purchased in a growler fresh from the brewery taps and tasted approximately 6 hours later.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: orangish and clear
Bryan: pours with a nice-sized head, slow to disappear; nice pale, clean color
Smell
Adam: nice and light
Bryan: kind of like a basic lager; nothing to appealing for me
Taste
Adam: Wow!!! flavor heaven, citrussy tang and just enough sweetness
Bryan: sweet; lager yeast very obvious
Mouthfeel
Adam: Carbonated and light, but, not thin
Bryan: smooth; slight carbonation, just enough; not biting
Drinkability
Adam: very, with light nose, good for the masses
Bryan: seems like a decent beer for lager fans, not offensive; for me, I can drink it, but not that thrilled about it
Seconds?
Adam: yes sir...spring is here lets bring it in with this great May Bock!
Bryan: No. Though, it reminds me that I want to try the Stoudt's Blonde Double Maibock very soon!
